Hi one and all. Does anyone here know where I can get a tein coilover top hat replacement? Well I bought a set of tein coilover from a member here on july but didn't get it done until yesterday cos had some other things to mind to install and had it installed all yesterday.

Was told by the member that the coilovers were good and no knocking or oil leaks and sorts. True that was no leaks but after installation and adjusted when for a drive and found that one of the fronts pairs knock whenever going thru a bump or uneven road surface. Response and rebound from that particular corner is still good no sag or bounciness so the shocks is good but according to my mechanic it most likely thing that is causing the knocking is the top hat.

So does anyone out there has got a spoilt/wrecked set of tein coilovers for a ER34 Gtt would not mind parting with it? I would like to get the top hat only if you want to keep the rest like the springs and such. Or anyone knows where I can get my hands on a new tein top hat?

Cheers

Daniel

Name and shame the person, people should be told who the bad traders are and shouldn't rip of a fellow member!

naming and shaming can get the owner of SAU into a lot of legal strife

speak to the bard rdirty3 @wa suspensions sauwa sponser also agents for teins i think

or monga (clint) he might be able to help you out as he gets lots of stuff from japan

Thanks Gazza and SexycanI. Well naming and shaming may not really help cos there are fellow members out there who think that if you buy my seconds then its your problem to be desperate or cheap. But then again not everyone has got money to go new even if they can afford to own or rive the car. It could be a family car but also a dream car for the family man to drive.

Like me the skyline is one of my dream car to own and drive. I'm a family man working and bringing up my young family. Yes when i was younger i upgrade my cars too. So now wif the skyline the performance parts are more expensive so although I like upgrading the parts more for looks sake and feel for the car not soo much racing down the track. For me to go new for a set of coilovers is way over so got myself a seconds but never expected to get ripped by a fellow member from of all thing the skyline forum would have maybe expected this from gumtree or whatever but not skyline forum.

Well maybe I'll get in contact with wa suspensions to see what I can do or fork out more again and maybe just live with the knocking for the time being until cash comes handy again.

Can't coil overs be rebuilt?

tein coilovers can be rebuilt. Plus rebuilding it I should have just gotten new ones instead right from the start. But why can't people here especially in the forums here be honest and not sell defective or spoilt goods to people especially like parts where it needs to be installed before we can know the full serviceablility of the parts? Just plain old cheaters out there. Bringing the skyline forum to shame.

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
